Bangladesh did not manage to repeat a Dutch today, while Scotland almost did. In between, the West Indies completely annihilated the Australians.

My 2-bit take aways from Day 2 of the ICC World Twenty20:

1. The boundaries are not THAT long. Its only Luke Wright's bat that can't clear them.
   
   
2. A 7 over game can be very exciting, especially if a minnow is favorites to win it at the half way stage.
   
   
3. I love the name 'Navdeep Singh Poonia'! I would like to hear Navjot Sidhu say that.
   
   
4. Had the Kiwis lost, it would have just been McCullum's IPL nightmares continued. Maybe New Zealand should name someone else vice captain.
   
   
5. Michael Clarke cannot play T20 cricket.
   
   
6. Watson & Ponting in the 1st over sealed the game for the Windies - Gayle nailed it!
   
   
7. It was Andre Fletcher's third T20 international innings and his first 50 at the level - what a match to bring it up in.
   
   He matched Gayle stroke for stroke.
   
   
8. Gayle's 88 was the 3rd highest score by a captain in T20 internationals. I reckon he's the best bat in the T20 business today.
   
   
9. Brett Lee's 56 runs in 4 overs were the most an Australia bowler has conceded in a 4-over spell in T20 internationals.
   
   Fortunately for him, they don't top the worst figures list.
   
   
10. Dhoni continues to bemuse by walking out at number 3 - did the warm ups not make him understand anything?
    
    
11. Had Yuvi not fired, India would have lost. Dhoni must be thanking him in every possible way you can think of right now.
    
    
12. Raina is such a waste at 5.
    
    
13. Shakib continues to impress. He had Rohit twice in two deliveries, but for the damn Deshi keeper.
    
    
14. Pragyan Ojha picked up a wicket with his very first delivery in T20 internationals. I'm not sure if thats a first but the commentators for some reason missed the feat.
    
    His 4-21 was also the 4th best effort by a bowler on debut in T20Is.
    
    Any doubts then who the best spinner in India is?

It was quite an exciting day today for cricket fans - not one boring moment since the rains went away.

From the moment Ryan Watson smashed O'brien for a boundary, till the very end when Naeem Islam smashed Ishant for 2 sixes before Yuvraj took an awesome catch, his second of the day, I was hooked to the action.

Who said the ICC World Twenty20 would not be exciting? Take that Amrit Mathur!

Tomorrow's a day when the hosts could be kicked out of the competition. Or they could get one of Pakistan's legs in a plane back home.

I can't wait.

And why are the Scottish playing 2 games in 2 days? Were they in England only for the Weekend? Back to work on Monday?

Three matches into the ICC World Twenty20 and two upsets.

It very well could have been 3 in 3 had the Scottish been a little bit more calm in the field.

Many may not consider the West Indies win over Australia as an upset, but it sure is. No one expected Australia to lose.

Did you?

Even if you did, I'm sure you didn't expect Gayle and Co. to spread this kind of carnage and totally destroy the Aussies.

The Australians just had no idea what hit them.

From the word go, Gayle and Fletcher were at them.

Lee, Johnson, Bracken had no answer to the brute force of those two bats.

It was sheer carnage out there and a treat to watch.

I didn't think Gayle would come good given he had hit his straps in the warm-ups, but as we all know, he loves the T20 form of the game and he truly showed that today.

I reckon he's one of the best in the business, if not the best.

He alone had Lee reeling at 3-0-51-0 !!!

I hate to say this, but at least the English took the Dutch to the final delivery of the match.

Australia had lost the game by the 5th over.

Two days into a cricket world cup competition and we have a situation where the hosts, England, and one of the favorites (not for me, but others), Australia, are facing an exit.

It may be a blessing considering that both teams' thoughts were revolving around the Ashes anyway.

Look at this way - exits for both will give them 30 days to concentrate solely on the Ashes!

Maybe thats what they wanted. Good for them then I guess.

Where now for the rest?

Two upsets already. Will Bangladesh give us another?
